Why this name?
Well I first started off as just "XL" cause I'm a Big Nigg@..nah mean.......... But then I realized that "eXeL" was more creative and that it had a double meaning. So I kept it.
Do you play live?
I haven't really started playing live yet.... been to a couple of open mics and shit...... just catch me in cyphas.....
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It gives unsigned artists a chance to shine....
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yup>>>>>>>>>>> Preferably "Terror Squad"
Band History:
Influenced by the late great Christopher Rios (Big Pun), 19-year old eXeL always manages to force his listeners to go through a process that usually evokes questions like "Can you rewind that?" or "Who is this cat?" As a sophmore in high school, eXeL began to explore his lyrical talents at a much more professional level and continues to produce thought provoking rhymes while acquiring his higher learning at Seton Hall University, something that most of eXeL's listeners would never expect. eX knows that the greatest thing in life is an education and has set knowledge as his number one priority. Not only is eXeL a sick emcee and scholar, but he is also a producer. eXeL has made beats for the likes of local groups which include Dead Endz, Severe Testimony, and Supreme Mutilation. His masterpieces will soon be heard more often on tracks from artists like Diss Guyz, GarZia Vega, Influence, Concept (Writer'z BLoK), Wayz the Hi (Meta-4), Snype, Drastic (NFO), Relm, Amaze, 3rd Degree, G-zus, (M.I.C.), and Rhetoric (E.P.I.C.): just to name a few. Regardless of his short experience, eXeL manages to maintain a reputation for lyrical and beat mastery skills. He is what you would call in past centuries "A Renaissance Man". After listening to eXeL's music, you will know why this streetwise emcee is a future star of hip-hop!
